The Performance Space will partially occupy the existing structure of the Silos and present an entertainment area where people will gather to enjoy Toronto's leading performance productions. The space will accommodate a gathering of people in numbers between 200 - 500, have room for any type and kind of production that deals with performance and be a space that celebrates sound dynamism as an attribute of any successful entertainment piece.
There will be a convertible seating arrangement in order for the staff and organizers to promptly be able to change the space into a party space where people will be able to mingle and dance.
A raised platform will be provided for when the production incorporates a show of live music. Another raised level will be provided for those who prefer to look at the happening from above down.
The Core Heal-through-Dance Environment is connected to the Performance Space but is unique in that it is highly advanced technologically and serves as the main visual communicator of the entire site. This space represents the dialogue the user has the minute he or she steps into the room. The floor responds to the amount of pressure that is applied to it and reflects it using light. Apart from the pressure the floor will indicate the amount or level of activity that the user is having within the space. For example, if the user's actions come out from within the core of the body, the floor will light up the corresponding colour. So the floor will "understand" where the action is coming from. Simultaneously the same reflection will be found on the spherical walls of the space. The entire space will be a sphere where the walls and the ceiling merge into one surrounding surface that "speaks" directly with the user. The sphere also is a transparent one so anyone observing the action from the outside is able to see how much energy is produces by the people inside.
As the water is part of the dancing and healing processes and is a key in the design of the Water Lounge a Bioremedification System will be installed throughout the site which will serve as a connective path between the spaces that deal with the circulation of water. The system will filter out the human "gold" and turn the minerals into the nutrients for the plant life of the development. The filtered water in turn will be available for reuse on site for such purposes as cleaning and watering the plants.

Biomimicry: Bubble
ReplyDelete- The more air there is in the bubble the bigger it gets.
=> The more people gather inside the sphere, the more air circulation is required. The variations in speed levels of the circulating air will be visible and present a system. Similarly, glass tubes filled with gas may change colour and its intensity/luminosity and the process can be controlled.
